Chemistry is often referred to as the central science as it is the common link between molecular level phenomena and the macro-level world which is key for many areas of science.
Chemists learn to understand how processes that define our world work, and how we might be able to utilise them to raise global living standards while minimising impact on our planetary environment.
As such, Chemists play leading roles in developing sustainable industrial processes, creating novel materials for renewable energy applications, renewing our agricultural lands and degraded waterways, fighting disease (in humans, animals, and agriculture), discovery and sustainable utilisation of natural resources, and criminal investigations.
The Chemistry major has been designed to provide students with a deep understanding of how chemical knowledge can be used to develop a more sustainable society. Students will explore the use of modern simulation and computational tools to assist in this endeavour and how chemistry knowledge can intersect with other science disciplines to create truly novel and lasting solutions for a sustainable life.
